Webquest

Rockin with rocks and minerals

Tips for Webquests:
1. Make sure that it flows. When you are creating your webquest make sure that the students are researching things that build upon each other.
2. Use websites that are easy to navigate. There are some websites that have good information, but the information is hard to find.
3. Make sure that the websites that you use are suitable for the grade level that the webquest is for. If the webquest is geared towards upper grades consider using more scholarly articles, rather than a straight forward website for an elementary student or middle school student.
4. Use websites that are real life applicable. When searching for sites to use in the webquest try and use sites that the students can make a real live connection to. For example, learning about different rocks in Utah, you could use a website that has a link to different hikes in Utah.
5. Be creative! Using videos and interactive websites will help different learners retain information. Reading an article only works for certain types of learners.
